G1465–ἐγκόπτω–egkoptō

But--not to detain you too long--I beg you in your forbearance to listen to a brief statement from us.

ἐγκόπτω, egkoptō “I may be a hindrance,”

And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.

ἐνεκοπτόμην enekoptomēn “I was being hindered”

You were running the race nobly! Who has interfered and caused you to swerve from the truth?

ἐνέκοψεν enekopsen “impeded”

On this account we wanted to come to you--at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so--but Satan hindered us.

ἐνέκοψεν enekopsen “hindered”

Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

ἐγκόπτεσθαι egkoptesthai “[cause to] be impeded”
